A Trip to the Zoo
Yesterday my family and I went to the zoo to see the elephant. When we
got to the zoo, we went to the shop to buy some food to give to the
animals.
After getting the food, we went to the nocturnal house where we saw
birds and reptiles which only come out at night.
Before having lunch, we went for a ride on the elephant. It was a thrill to
ride it. Dad fell off when he let go of the rope, but he was ok.
During lunch, we fed some birds in the park. In the afternoon we saw the
animals being fed. When we returned home we were very tired but
happy. It was because we had so many fun activities at many places at
the zoo.
